Sometimes I'm more true when I'm up onstage than I'm able to be in my regular life. It's not as exciting to be at home, but I've got to learn how to make that work, and then I will be an ordinary woman.

Raitt had met Was through Hal Wilner who was putting together Stay Awake a tribute album to Disney music for A&M. So they agreed to let me go in and recut half of it and that's when it came out as Nine Lives. Bush.

Raitt has received ten Grammy Awards (as of 2013) in her career and is a lifelong political activist. During the 1970s Raitt released a series of acclaimed roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues rock folk and country but Bonnie Raitt is perhaps best known for her more commercially accessible recordings in the 1990s including "Nick of Time" "Something to Talk About" "Love Sneakin' Up on You" and the slow ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me".
